about us
OUR GATHERINGS
Join us for our weekly Gatherings SUNDAYS 10AM at 4449 Belair Road, Baltimore, MD 21206
OUR CORE
- TEACHING - to break down the scripture for all ages to unleash the Power Of GOD's WORD in you and your community's lives.
- PRAYER - above all our goal is to create and sustain a strong relationship with GOD regardless of what's happening in our lives. Prayer is the heartbeat of this ministry and church.
- WORSHIP - we are passionate about worship and know its our love gift back to GOD. We engage in heartfelt worship by singing with all our hearts, lifting up our hands, clapping and event dancing. We give it our all....its the fire of worship that unlocks the next level of our lives through Christ Jesus.
- COMMUNITY - we understand the enemy wants us separated like a lion hunting a sheep. Together we are strong. GOD says we should never be alone so by worshipping together we get good wholesome instruction and our loving servant leaders hold us accountable as the Bible instructs them too.
- GENEROSITY - we know and live with the belief that we are BLESSED to Bless so we give to others within our power to help them be the best that they can be. We know GOD loves a cheerful giver and people who are good stewards over every resource GOD has blessed them to have.
- SERVICE - we are the hands & feet of Jesus - its The GREAT COMMISSION for us Matthew 25:31-46 & Matthew 28: 16-20 is our guide to love, lead and help everyone we can.
- HONOR - we honor GOD, JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT and all that HE has created and blessed us with. This honor goes beyond just church but to everyone and everything we are connected to.
- EXCELLENCE - we fuse to be mediocre. GOD has blessed us too good to give HIM crumbs. We have to do everything in excellence...that 5 star everything! We have to be on time. We have to pray with power. We have to serve as if our lives depended on it. Everything we do or say can not be lackluster...it has to be our best at all times.
OUR BELIEFS
GOD
There is one God, who eternally exists in three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, co-eternal, and distinct from each other, yet one. The doctrine of God's Triune nature is called the Trinity. (I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11).
JESUS
Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead three days after He was crucified according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory. (John 1:1,14, 20:28; I Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; I Timothy 2:5).
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Holy Trinity who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. According to the Scriptures, The Holy Spirit comforts us, teaches us, gives gifts to us, reminds us of everything Jesus has spoken, and leads us into all truth (John 14; 16:8–11; 2 Cor. 3:6; 1 Cor.12:12–14; Rom. 8:9; Eph. 5:18).
THE BIBLE
The Holy Bible is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant. (2 Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26).
MAN
God created Man in His own image and likeness as an upright moral and spiritual being. By voluntary transgression against God’s Word, Man fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).
SALVATION
The fall of man caused separation between God and all people, rendering man ultimately hopeless and in danger of eternal damnation. God in His love, not wanting anyone to perish, sent Christ into the world. The sacrificial death of Jesus, and His blood shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through any self-effort. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22).
TWO SACRAMENTS
- Water Baptism: Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; 10:47-48).
- The Lord's Supper: A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross (Matthew 26:26-29; I Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25).
THE CHURCH
The Church is the local and global community of believers who acknowledge Jesus as their Savior. The Church is not a location, religious institution, or weekly event. The Church is the body of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and made up of born-again believers who carry the divine mission of spreading the Gospel to the whole world. Locally, our church gathers every week corporately on Sundays and in small groups during the week to worship, pray, grow through biblical instruction, and to strengthen and support each other. (Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:42-47; Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23).
THE FUTURE
Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures. After living one life on earth, unbelievers will be judged by God and eternally separated from Him and tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels in the lake of fire. Believers will spend eternity with God in a conscious state of bliss thanking Him for all eternity for the victory of overcoming this life; they will enter into eternal blessing (Matthew 25:41; Mark 9:43-48; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:1-5; Matthew 24:30, 26:63-64; Acts 1:9-11; I Thessalonians 4:15-17; II Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7).
The R.O.C.K. Nation Church is a champion for grace and truth while maintaining a conservative theological position.
